This month, Slovak President Zuzana Caputova received the Freedom Award from the Friedrich Naumann Foundation in Frankfurt. Head of the foundation's board Karl-Heinz Paque called Caputova's tenure as president an example for liberals across Europe. Later on the show we will speak to Mrs. Elena Letňanová, musician and university lecturer, who had to flee totalitarian Czechoslovakia after she was put on the blacklist of people who spoke against the regime.
